Why are steering wheels on buses positioned more horizontally than vertically?

A friend casually raised this issue the other day over lunch and it stuck with me. I assume it has something to with better handling but I don’t know for sure.

It’s the position of the steering wheel relative to the steering axle as well, in a car you sit behind the steering axle, buses and truck you’re above it.
